Utility Routing
Utility routers include the 16x4, 16x16, 32x32 and 34x34 sizes and are available in a wide range of signal types including 3G / HD / SD SDI, Analog Video, AES / EBU Digital Audio, Stereo Analog Audio and Machine Control (RS-422). The compact design, and compelling price points make these routers a great solution for a wide variety of applications from standalone single crosspoint to larger multi-crosspoint systems.

Facility RoutingThe large NK-3G144-X is a scalable router designed to function in mission critical, high availability environments. The NK-3G144-X uses a common set of I/O boards and can be expanded in groups of 8 inputs and outputs to 144x144. This system is fully 3G compliant and will pass 3G / HD / SD signals in addition to ASI and SDI. A key feature of this matrices is superior redundancy. It has been architected to be equipped with fully redundant power supplies, dual redundant crosspoints and dual redundant control cards.

DashBoard offers flexible control, configuration and monitoring over the entire NK router line and its control components. Using the NK-IPS Network Bridge, multiple DashBoard clients can run simultaneously to configure and monitor the NK router line, including signal status on each I/O port across multiple routers.

DashBoard provides intuitive control panel configuration, including crosspoint and function assignment for each button, macro programming, and menu structure building across the entire range of NK control panels. Configuration extends to all NK control devices including GPI/O modules, 3rd party protocol translators and the NK-VRC Virtual Routing Core.

Virtual control panels and the virtual switchboard are an engineer’s dream, offering access to every crosspoint with the click of a mouse, or the press of a finger on a touch screen. Monitor, Control, Configure and Protect your NK routing system with DashBoard.
